Man pleads guilty to sex with 2 teens

June 18, 2009

A 28-year-old Palatine man will have to register as a sex offender after he was convicted today of having sex with two 16-year-old girls.

Joseph H. Singer, of the 200 block of Broadmoor Court, pleaded guilty in Rolling Meadows to two counts of criminal sexual abuse. He also was sentenced to 30 months probation on the felony convictions. Singer has served 129 days in Cook County jail since his arrest.

Assistant State's Atty. Mike Gerber said Singer befriended the girls and had sex with them at his home on separate occasions in February. Other charges against Singer were dropped in exchange for his plea.
